Prosecutors Seek Life Sentence In Trump Assassination Attempt
10 hours ago
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to impose a life sentence on Ryan Routh, the man convicted of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
Routh is scheduled to appear Wednesday in federal court in Fort Pierce, Florida. Authorities say he aimed a rifle through shrubbery while Trump was playing golf at his West Palm Beach country club in 2024.
Routh’s attorney is requesting a lighter sentence, arguing that his client should have the opportunity to experience freedom again rather than spending the rest of his life in prison.
